🌳 Now is the Perfect Time to Prune Cherry & Plum Trees 🍒🍑

Did you know that summer is the best time to prune most cherry and plum trees?

Unlike many other fruit trees, species in the Prunus family (including cherries, plums, gages and damsons) are best pruned during late July and August, when they are actively growing.

Why prune in summer?
✅ Reduces the risk of Silver Leaf Disease, a fungal disease that enters through fresh pruning wounds, particularly during cooler, wetter months.
✅ Encourages healthy growth and helps maintain a strong tree structure.
✅ Improves air circulation and light pe*******on through the canopy, promoting better-quality fruit.
✅ Removes damaged, diseased or crossing branches before they become bigger problems.
✅ Makes harvesting and future maintenance much easier.

Why avoid winter or early spring?
During the dormant season, pruning wounds heal much more slowly. This leaves cherry and plum trees far more vulnerable to diseases such as Silver Leaf and bacterial canker, which can seriously affect the long-term health and productivity of the tree.

If your cherry or plum tree is becoming overgrown, now is the ideal time to have it professionally assessed and pruned to keep it healthy, productive and looking its best.

🍐 Pear Rust – Those Bright Orange Spots Aren't Just Cosmetic! 🍂

If you've noticed bright orange spots appearing on the leaves of your pear tree, there's a good chance it's pear rust – a fungal disease that's becoming more common in UK gardens.

So, how does it get there?

Pear rust has an unusual life cycle. It needs both pear trees and certain species of juniper to survive. In spring, spores are released from infected junipers and carried by the wind, where they infect nearby pear trees. Later in the year, the fungus produces a different type of spore on the pear leaves, which then travels back to infect junipers and continue the cycle.

🍐 A few facts:
• The first sign is usually bright orange or yellow-orange spots on the upper surface of the leaves.
• As the season goes on, small brown, raised growths can develop underneath the leaves.
• Severe infections can weaken the tree and reduce the quantity and quality of fruit, although healthy, established trees often recover well.
• Wet weather and prolonged damp conditions help the disease spread.

The best approach is to keep your tree healthy with good pruning to improve airflow, remove heavily infected fallen leaves, and avoid planting susceptible junipers close to pear trees where possible.

If you're unsure whether your pear tree has pear rust or another problem, feel free to get in touch. I'd be happy to help identify the issue and advise on the best course of action.

We're coming very close to the perfect time of the year for summer pruning wysteria and climbing hydrangea 😃.

Wysteria require two prunings a year, once in February time and the second in August where we cut back to between 8 and 5 leaves.

Hydrangea are also at there best when pruned in summer straight after the flowers have died off and require a light pruning back of the stems aswel as taking back or taking out any that are straggly or any that are overly long, this will essentially help keep them in good shape assuming they are already in good order.

This is not just a job to us but also a hobbie.

Just a little update from me. 🌿

Some of you may have noticed I've been a little quiet over the past week. Unfortunately, I've been unwell and haven't even been in Whitby, so I haven't been able to keep on top of things as I normally would.

I can only apologise for the lack of communication. If you've been waiting to hear from me, please bear with me. I'll be getting in touch with everyone over the coming days to rearrange work, finish any outstanding jobs, and book in any work we've already discussed.

I'm just taking a little time to get myself back to full health before throwing myself back into what I love doing. I'd much rather return at 100% than rush back too soon.

Thank you all for your patience, understanding, and continued support. It genuinely means a lot, and I can't wait to be back out in the gardens again very soon. 🌱

Now's the perfect time to keep on top of deadheading your roses! 🌹 Not only does it keep them looking neat and beautiful, but it also encourages many repeat-flowering varieties to continue producing blooms throughout the season. 😃

For roses with multiple flower clusters, simply remove each spent flower individually by cutting just above where the flower stalk joins the main stem. This allows the remaining buds in the cluster to continue blooming. Once the entire cluster has finished flowering, you can cut the stem back to just above the first outward-facing leaf with five leaflets.

Once you've finished deadheading, you can also lightly trim any taller stems back to the height of the rest of the plant if you'd like to maintain a more rounded and balanced shape.

🌿 A few June rose care tips:
• Continue feeding repeat-flowering roses with a balanced rose fertiliser to support healthy growth and abundant blooms.
• Keep an eye out for common problems such as black spot and aphids. Good airflow around the plant and removing affected leaves can help reduce disease pressure.

🌿 A Quick Note on Hedge Cutting/pruning During Bird Nesting Season 🐦

As a passionate horticulturalist and wildlife enthusiast, I take my responsibility to nature seriously.

Many birds nest in hedges and shrubs between spring and summer, which means I may refuse or postpone hedge-cutting work if there is a risk of disturbing active nests. In the UK, it is an offence to intentionally damage or destroy a wild bird's nest while it is in use, and doing so could result in prosecution, fines, and serious damage to my business's reputation.

I know it can sometimes be frustrating if a hedge needs a trim, but protecting our wildlife is far more important. Before carrying out any work, I always assess hedges carefully to ensure any resident birds can raise their young safely.

Thank you for your understanding and for helping to protect the wildlife that makes our gardens so special. 🌿🐦
